The dominant form of expression among today's underground elite is to relive repressed childhood memories via various modes of electronic pop.

The dominant form of expression among today's underground elite is to relive repressed childhood memories via various modes of electronic pop. Although the endless waves of synths, samples and digital editing software surpassed their soul-sucking saturation point some time ago, there are still new voices making this stuff seem fresh until the next guitar renaissance rolls around.

Purity Ring is one of those projects, a post-dubstep R&B mind meld with a strong handle on both melody and texture. The duo will bring their fledgling live show to Skully's this Wednesday.
